How Jenny Lind Sang Home, Sweet Home"

Perhaps the most thrilling quarter
of an hour of John Howard Payne
life was that when Jenny Lind sang
CLONE, Sweet Home to him. The
occasion was the Jenny Lind concert
in Washington, the night of December
18th, 1850. The assembly was per
haps the most distinguished ever seen
in Il concert room in this country.
The immense National Hall, hastily
constructed for the occasion on the
ruins Of the burned National Theatre,
was filled to oyerflowing. Among the
notables present and occupying front
seats were President Fillmore, Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, General Scott
and John Howard Payne. Jenny Lind
opened with the SCasta Diva" and
followed with the "Flute Song. (in
which her voice contested rivalry for
purity and sweetness with Il flute in
the duet. } then the famous ''Bird Song"
and next on her programme the 'Greet-
ING to America" All the pieces We're
applauded apparently to the full ca
pacity of an enthusiastic audience, and
Mr.. Webster, who was in his most ge-
NAL after dinner mood, emphasized
the plaud by rising from his seat and
making Jenny profound bow as if
responding for the country to her
''Greeting' But when the ''Swedish
Nightingale" answered the encore by
turning in the direction of John How
ard Payne and giving ''Home Sweet
Home" with ali the wonderful tender
ness, purity, and simplicity fitting
both the words and air of the I'M
mortal song, the difference was at once
seen between the mechanical applause
called ont hy display Of fine yocaliza
ton, and that elected by the :'touch
OF nature that makes the whole world
kin Before the first line OF the song
was completed the audience was fair
ly "of' its feet and could scarcely
wait fora pause to give expression to
its enthusiasm. People ordinarily of
the undemonstratiye sort clapped,
stamped, and shouted as if they were
mad. and il seemed as if there would
be 10 end to the uproar. Meantime
all eyes were turned upon Payne, a
small-sizod, elegantly moulded, gray
haired gentleman, who blushed VIC
sently at finding himself the centre Of
10 many glances.

A Voice From the Parsonage.

BRowNwooD, Ga, Dec. Z, 1856.
The Swift Specific Co, Atlanta, Ga.
GENTLEMEN This past summer
my wife was away on two
months visit. On her return home
she had wretched cold. which,
growing worse, caused me to call in
a physician. He attended her sever
al weeks without benciitting her.
She, knowing the splendid effect S.
S. S. had on me, determined to test
It IN her case. At that time she had
copious aud disagreeable discharges
from the left nostril Before the first
bottle OF S. S. S. was used up she was
much better, and n few additional
bottles set her all right.
1t is remarkable that s., S. S. is
good for colds and sore throats. A
few months ago, was troubled oc-
casionally with my throat from
preaching. carried 4 bottle OF
Swift's Specific with me OH the cir
cult. Whenever my throat became
irritated and annoyed me l would
take dose of S. S. s. just before re-
firing, and OH awakening | would be
well. REV. JOSEPH G. LANesToN.

lated the proportions of a force that

missioner Fink employs l96 clerks 10
keep straight the percentages OF the
Eastern trunk-lino pool. This force
had nothing 20 do in comparison with
the Commissioners work. The job
is bigger than was contemplated, ex-
cept by those who engineered the law
and saw that II was necessary to gag
public clamor in some way. The law
is railroad measure. II may injure
the great business centers, and IL may,
as It stands, not benefit the country
at large, but the railroads do not call
cnlate to be hurt by IT,"
Instead of breaking the coal COM
binations. the law is consolidating
them, and closing many of the mines
run by the small operators. A dis
patch from Columbus says: "rhe
railroad officers can give no rates on
connecting lines, and the result is the
closing up of number Of mines on
the Hooking Valley road, as 1t has
asked for an increase price agreed
upon for the summer months before
the passage of the interstate law
So Il seems that the law is in conflict
with that section 6f the Constitution
prohibiting the passage of any act
impairing the force Of contracts.
In few words, no law ever be-
came in so short time open to so
many serious if not fatal objections.
But for the liberal Interpretation of
the law by the Commission, business
would be paralyzed. Yet this is not
surprising, for no law ever passed
Congress with SO many men voting
for It declaring frankly that they
could not understand it.

Newspapers in 1887.

Geo. II. Rowell & Co., of New York
will issue on Monday, May 2nd, the
Nineteenth Annual edition of their
standard publication, the "American
Newspaper Directory"
The new volume contains and ex-
haustive list of all Glass Publications
so admirably arranged that any one
Of three thousand papers represented
there can be readily referred to and
all important facts concerning 1t, to-
gether with its circulation rating,
easily obtained.
The Newspaper Directory viii be
used principally by Publishers, Ad-
vertisers and Advertising Agents, but
the vast fund of Information 1t con-
tains makes it valuable to persons of
almost every trade and profession
AS a Gazetteer alone It is well worth
the price charged, $5 90, for it fully
describes every town in which q
newspa per is issued, and few people
care to know about any place where
one is not.
The number Of papers published in
lut Ouilcu Dtdtcrg ACliitOiioo NthSiuN-
ing Alaska) and Canada is put at l5,-
400 an increase of 5Sl in one year.
The growth of newspapers in some
of the Western States would be q
matter of wonder, If 1t were not that
this year is no exception 10 the rule.
In Kansas the increase is 50 and in
Nebraska "a; while the Keystone
state shows smaller advance of 30
aud the Buckeye State of 30. Penn
sylvania exhibits the largest increase
in dailies, II; Kansas in weeklies, 81,
and New York in monthlies, AZ.
Seven States show a. decrease. The
most prominent instances being New
Hampshire and Virginia, six each.
The whole volume shows the great
care has been taken to sustain itsrep-
utation as the most comprehensive
work of the kind yet published, and
to insure accuracy in every detail.
Anything less than complete COM
pendulum of American newspapers
and periodicals would surprise those
who are familiar with the former ef-
forts of this firm, who are so well
known as the oldest, largest and best
known of all the American Advcrtis-
ing Agencies.

How 1t Works.


Judge Deadly in Oregon supple
ments the decision of the Railroad
Commissioners, and shows how II
will bo possible for the separate lines
composing a great system of trans
p0rtation to evadc the interstate COM
merce law. II is in effect, to resolve
itself into It's original elements, and,
though exchanging business, not to
assume responsibility for carriage or
charges beyond the actual limits OF
each road in the combination. In
other words, return to the old ways
of doing business, when at every ship
ping point freight brokers, commits
sion merchants and other middle men
were necessary.
In the South a question will be
made as to the third section, which
is in fact the civil rights law in an
other shape. This section declares
that no person shall be subject to un-
due prejudice, but that all shall have
the same service and the same accom-
modation. An effort will now be
made for the application Of this prin-
ciple to the case of colored man put
Off train on the Western and Attain
tic railroad at Dalton. He held a
flrst-class ticket, but was first order
ed out of a first-class car by the con-
ductor, and then expelled at the Dali
toB station By white passengers. As
the law stands IL is difficult to see
how the roads can force the negro
into one car in preference to another.
We have already commented on
the dissatisfaction in Boston and
Philadelphia, and at almost all points
in the East All that keeps this dis
satisfaction from becoming an uproar
is the recent ruling of the Commits
sion, which leads to the belief that
The most obnoxious and dangerous
provisions of the bill are not 10 be

Toledo, too begins to realize that
all things are not what they seem.
Its merchants were clamorous for the
passage Of the law, and now none are
so clamorous TO have its repeal.
A committee of the Produce Ex-
change of Toledo was appointed to
consider lhe operations Of tho law.
and they condemn IL unequivocally,
''declaring the law has no friends
among the grain men, though Toledo
has an elevator capacity Of 100000
bushels. Toledo Is very antagonistic

Interesting Facts Concerning tho Second

Interesting Facts Concerning tho Second
Largest Opera House in Europe.
The Scala is situated in the very
heart of the city, within a stones
throw of II Duomo and not very far
away from the park. When you look
at it from the square in front, standing
near the pedestal of the statue of the
great Leonardo da Yinci, the Scala is
a plain, commonplace, uninteresting
edilice, devoid of laeeworklike faeings
or pompous Carrara marble. Its only
outward ornament, in fact, is minia-
ture arcade built ON smooth pillars
over the principal doorway. The in
terror, however, is quite grandiose and
superb, with its tesselated pavement,
its exquisitely groinedroof and artistic
ally set galleries. Next to the. world
renowned theater of Naples, the Scala
is the largest opera house in Europe.
Its stage is Of such immense proper
tions that in the recent ballet, "Amor"
one thousand dancers of both sexes
piroueted on its boards in one of tho
scenes with the utmost facility.
Although it is open to the public
only few months every year, its pro-
prietors make more money annually
than those of any other similar estab-
lishment in the world, for the price Of
tickets varies from ten to three hum
dred francs, and It rarely happens that
there is a single seat vacant at any OF
the representations. Big "nobsN of
the aristocratic order and rich bankers
and burgesses patronize 1t night after
night during the. season. and eonse-
quently, although the expenses are
high, the receipts are far more so, en-
abling tho managing company to COM
mand the best talent, SO far as actors,
actresses and musical composers are
concerned, while the stage accessories
are in all cases unexceptionably sn-
